Massive explosion rocks heart of Kabul
[Iran Press TV Latest] A loud explosion has rocked the Afghan capital after a terrorist bomber blew himself up near a US military convoy in Kabul. The explosion caused casualties among foreign troops and Afghan civilians, security sources said. According to a security source, the attack was aimed at foreign troops since it happened near the city center close to foreign military bases. "The blast took place on a road leading east from the city center, close to several large bases for foreign troops," said the source. "There are casualties among Afghan civilians and foreign forces." US soldiers were blocking access to the scene on the Jalalabad road, the main highway leading east out of the capital, a witness told Reuters. Meanwhile, Afghan security forces arrested a man over last week's deadly assault on key government sites in the heart of Kabul, authorities said Tuesday. The National Directorate of Security identified the suspect as a 29-year-old man named Kamulddin and released a video of him confessing to the strike. Posted by: Fred 2010-01-27 |
